1. Ensure a steady room temperature day and night around 68ºF. Use an electric heater with a
thermostat if necessary.
2. Keep out of direct sunlight.
3. Check that available electrical supply matches the machine.
Temperature
Caution: Errors in temperature account for most failures. Adjust with care.
4. Fit the back end of the thermometer into the socket on the door. Temperature is factory set to
approximately 101ºF -check against thermometer supplied. Allow 2 hours to stabilize the
temperature before setting eggs. The red light indicates when the heater is on and will flash about
every second when the incubator is up to temperature
5. Fine adjustments can be made with a small screwdriver by adjusting the screw on the top of the
control cover - clockwise to increase temperature.
6. Recommended temperatures: Incubation period
Hens 38.5°C 101.3ºF 21 days
Pheasant 38.5°C 101.3ºF 24 days
Quail 38.5°C 101.3ºF 17-25 days
Ducks 38°C 100.4ºF 28 days
Geese 38°C 100.4ºF 28-32 days
7. Temperature variations (day to night for example) or constantly low temperature can cause
malformations or partial development of the embryo. Constantly high temperature will tend to
speed up development but risks early death from heat stress. Brief temperature reduction while
checking water levels or inspection will not affect development of the embryos.
Humidity and Ventilation
Note: Short term variations in humidity are not important. The average over the incubation
period needs to be near optimum for the ideal weight loss.
8. Recommended humidity:
During incubation: Poultry 40-50% RH
Waterfowl 50% RH
Hatching all species (after eggs pip) 70% RH or more
As a general guide for poultry, set the eggs with water in just one pan with one vent blocked and
adjust humidity on the basis of weight loss or air space development.
9. Ventilation is controlled by the vent holes at the control end of the incubator. To increase
humidity, reduce ventilation and vice-versa.
10. Further increase in humidity can be achieved by adding water to both pans in the egg tray. Add
water to the small moulded pans at the opening end of the egg tray to within (1/2”) from the top.
